Frank Gore

[oldunclemark]

That's the guy who all-pro in SF...

Our blocking improved a bit but a lot of that was Gore's vision.

He looked very, very good...

I would like to magically bubble wrap him and save him for the post-season...

If we have a healthy Frank Gore In January, we're going places..

[Smash Mouth]

Well any good running back finds the creases - some times the hole is not where the OC draws it up.  The OL did a great job - they destroyed JJ Watt.  Give them their due. 

[DalTXColtsFan]

I wanted to see Gore hit the century mark so badly - he was so close!!!

[spartancolt]

All lot of the game he was getting good yardage vs 8 men boxes. Dude is a monster

[BlueStallion]

With about 90 seconds left in the game, I wanted Gore to get one more carry to put him over 100 yards before the Colts went into Victory formation, but I got no satisfaction.  Oh well, you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes...

I love Fran Gore! Feels real good to finally have a real running back!

[theanarchist]

Gore has always been a workhorse back. He can carry the load. Give him a little daylight and he can still put up good yardage. He just needed the touches man. The first two weeks he was on and off the field so much it was like a revolving door. Leave the man in and let him do what he does best. From this point on Gore has to get 15 plus carries a game. It opens up the playaction pass, saw it last night on the first TD pass. Johnson was wide open and the only way that happens is because Gore was gashing them with the run.

What a difference! He made the O-line look pretty decent.

T-Rich would have had 21 yards on 20 carries with the same opportunity

[Moncrief]

Gore might actually make it to the big 1k for us.  He's certainly on pace to do so and we definitely have to incorporate him into the rest of the season like we did last night

Are you really still talking about Trent Richardson?  Don't beat a dead horse!

So what? Richardson makes me appreciate how good we have it with Gore now.

Trent Richardson hits the hole as quick as a dead horse.

LOL that is true, but he was cut by the Raiders and the Bills signed Boom Herron over Trent when they both worked out this past week.  I think Trent had his last chance in the NFL, and is in Ryan Leaf mode now.  I think it's time to move on...

I understand that, but it shouldn't have to come to Richardson's expense to see the value in Gore.  Just looking at Gore's abilities and work ethic is good enough for me anyways.

Is that frank gore's sister?

Trent Richardson deserves all the % he gets and then some. He was a lazy, self-aggrandizing piece of crap who probably, to this day, still believes he's the best back in the NFL.

Heady times for Gore as a player.  Just jumped 2 spots to 16 on the all time list.  With any luck (pun intended) he can jump a couple more spots this year.  If he plays again next year with the same effect, the sky's clear for top 8!  Hope you guys appreciate and show him the appreciation for what he's accomplished, and I hope he gets a Superbowl ring with you.

I would love for the Colts to release Robinson and sign Bradshaw this weekend. Gore and Bradshaw together could be huge for our offense.

 

I'm praying we sign Ahmad soon..

Maybe they will sign him towards the end of the season or in the home stretch for the playoffs. . . 

 

We really do need a good pass catching back.  Bradshaw really showed what could be if we incorporated that into our offense.

Exactly this ^^^^^^

 

It is like Gore said during the post game show. The more carries he gets the more production you will get from him. He needs to at least get 15 touches a game, and let him do his thing. Boy is it nice to have a great running back that has elite vision.

Robinson can't get better or experience without playing. You have to take ups with the downs. Let the kid develop, and that means more than just 5 games. On top of that, they aren't releasing a draft pick they see potential in. Tipton, on the other hand, can be the guy the let go for Bradshaw if necessary.

I don't think we can afford to wait on Robinson to develop. We can, but not as the #2. It's too important to get positive snaps out of whoever spells Gore and Robinson has done very little positive with his chances.

[ColtRider]

Wanna win more games like last night, Indy?

RUN the BEAST until his wheels fall off! (which may prove to be impossible with his toughness)

It'll make Andrew Luck look like King Kong!

[ProblChld32]

Frank gore has impeccable vision and alot of FIGHT still left in those legs. he looked like he was 22 years young out there last night. 

[GGW4Micheal]

A mix with great blocking by the OL and good hard running by Gore will always open up the pass game. Im just hoping Andrew will check down when nothing is open down field.

He's only had 17 carries through 5 games so far. That's way to early to give up on him. Don't get me wrong I'm down with getting Bradshaw, but not at the expense of Robinson as another poster suggested.

[BullsColtsFan1]

Gore played awesome last game.  He had a fumbling problem the first few games, hopefully thats cleared up.  He's a beast, I hope he stays healthy.  They need a solid #2 guy.  If they aren't going to sign Bradshaw, I think Varga should get the opportunity if healthy.

I'll admit, i was thinking the same thing however, today, I look back and its the right call.  Could you imagine the forum explosion if pags had ran Gore for those 2 yards and he had gotten hurt or fumbled and the texans returned it for a TD...

I'm not giving up on him, I just don't think he's good enough right now to be our #2.

Aww yes let's release youth and someone with promise who will learn alot more with gore for and older running back who's injury prone, that's so genius
